The Artcrafters have made Cambier Park the venue for their arts and crafts fair. The park is home to a number of state of the art facilities including The Arthur L. Allen Tennis Center and the Norris Community Center. It features a unique community-built playground, covered pavilion, lots of open green space and ample parking.
Refurbished in 2001, the Band Shell is the scene of free concerts scheduled throughout the year, including performances by the Naples Daily News Jazz Band, Naples Concert Band, Gulf Coast Big Band and numerous other performing groups.
Also located in Cambier Park is The von Liebig Art Center, permanent home of the Naples Art Association. A mainstay of the community, some 100,000 guests visit The von Liebig each year to view its changing exhibitions, take art classes and workshops, and participate in its highly-rated art lecture series.
Located just a block and a half from historic Fifth Avenue South, this art fair is within walking distance of trendy European boutiques, sidewalk cafes and iconic art galleries such as New River Fine Art, Sheldon Fine Art, Call of Africa’s Native Visions Gallery, Shaw Gallery of Fine Art and gallery O. The show is also just three minutes by car from fabled Gallery Row and the Third Street South Gallery District.
Admission is free and there is plenty of free parking in and within easy walking distance of Cambier Park.
